hmmm... how do you know that our recent miners violate the cgminer license? If your software is still using cgminer then per-license the source code MUST be made public. Canaan did that for the A6xx, A7xx, A8xx, and A9xx series. After that they started using FMS for the user interface instead of LuCI. Is FMS also a re-write of the actual miner code as well? Main question is: Does FMS still contain cgminer code? If it does then it is supposed to be made public. |

I have the "Too many failures" message when trying to login from my home network. The only way I can log in is using my phone's data.
How can I address this problem?
Well the bigger question is, what was the initial failure errors reported? Wrong name? Wrong password? To discourage hacker bots the site blocks too many failed attempts for 'a while' and just sends the Too many Failures msg... |

Not really, the operation input voltage is stated in their specs as well (200~277v), I don't know what do they mean by 25A, probably the power cord is able to carry 25A, or they are just being extra careful to not take any legal responsibility Ja, most odd that their large ad at the top says 220-277VAC and yet the detail specs say 200-277V. My guess is that for running on a lower line you have to run at reduced speed. |

Please do not say . Join Ck pool or anything like that..
My question is...Let’s say I am solo mining with a small geckoscience usb to a local pool on a local node. Is it possible for such a thing to actually solve a bitcoin block. I have seen my little setup get shares as high as 1.8 million diff. Could I check my local little pool one day and see a solved block? Is it *possible*? Yes. Early in 2022 Sledge0001 found a block using a Compac-F. BUT... he did it through a solo-pool node that has decent stability and propagation times to relay the Block Found message to the BTC network in a timely manner. The problem with using a local node is that it is a safe bet that you do not have the connection links & speed and server horsepower to get the Block Found out to the network fast enough to ensure that you don't end up in an orphan race with someone else and lose because their block is confirmed by others before yours is. That would truly suck... So yes you *can* do it but by using yuor own local node you are just increasing the already astronomical odds against you (using a small miner) by several magnitudes. |

Old news and already brought up in the 2023 Difficulty threadKey point is that the input voltage is now 25A at 220-277VAC which is perfect for 3-phase 480V systems but of course screws folks running 200-208V. Also uses a custom power inlet connector that BM does NOT give the spec on. |

I just took a quick look at their ad and missed the higher input voltage. Ja, good move for them and most large farms but of course it also screws folks running 200-208v for their main power  btw: its max current is spec'd at 25A, not 20. What I do *not* see is a spec for what that input power connector is. BM says that is a locking connector but thass all. Heavens forbid they tell us so folks can get the right one when making the no-doubt custom cords needed. |

As expected, to keep the 3-3.5kw 'sweet spot' I bet all they did is pile in more chips and use their lower power FW to do it...  |

I'm struggling here, can you provide more details on how you overclocked it? I changed what I though was the frequency from 400 to 500 and my hash rate dropped from 200G to 50K. I have a GekkoScience For a start, it would be better for you to post this in the Compac-F thread... If you read through the 1st few pages you will probably find the answer to your issue. #1 cause of problems is using an outdated version of cgminer or the version that came preloaded on a Pi (which is the wrong/hacked version). |

Star far far away from Ebang! As many unfortunate people here have found out they have zero support for the miners.
Whatsminers (MicroBt), Avalons (Canaan) are excellent.

I have an antminer s9 and an antminer s9j, I would like to know which is the best pool I can put them in to have the best performance
- Do you have any idea Op that if you use a mining pool antminer your electricity consumption may increase?
maybe later you will be surprised that your electricity bill will suddenly increase.But if your electricity bills are high every month so that you can somehow save on its consumption, maybe the first thing I can recommend is to use solo mining, first estimate the cost, and then add it when you see or know about it first. Above emphasis mine. Where you mine has NOTHING to do with how much power a miner uses. For any given miner, only 3 things affect power usage: Chip speed Vcore Temperature |

i have a hub that is rated for 2.1 amps and currently connected 3 compac fs im not nearly getting the performance i should out of these. mostly in the 500-699ghz tops. any thoughts ? thank you for your response.
Um, the Compac-F has their own thread that you may want to read through. Bet most if not all of any questions you have - including power requirements and current pulled vs freq - are answered there... |

Is the cost per KW/h worth it? That shouldn't be a decision that one should make for others. No one is making that decision for others. What we are doing is emphatically pointing out definite costs vs *possible* income and the fact that there are lower power cost options (sticks & pods) that also happen to be far faster as well as using far less power. |

Kano,
Make no mistake I know the numbers are against anyone that tries to mine for a block period unless they have a ton of hash-rate.
Many people did tell me and thought I was nuts for mining with USB sticks. You were not one of them.
Even with all that being said if there was enough hash and someone got lucky then it is possible.
True success comes from continually trying and eventually succeeding after many others have failed before you.
AFAIK Kano's primary objection is not the low hash rate & minuscule chance of finding a block when using CPU/GPU's - it's the power used to produce that *tiny* has rate. For running on one thread of a multi-core CPU while you are doing other things on your pc, fine. Doing it on PCs you do not own and are not authorized to use is obviously out of the question and highly illegal. Mining with multiple GPU's - well, the cost of power used adds up very fast and it's easy to put over 1kw & more into them. So unless your power is free, once you start going over 100w, just get a few sticks or a pod miner and be ahead of the game on all points... |

Long ago Kano recommended that the slower original Compacs, 2Pacs & NewPacs be ran in a separate instance of cgminer and the F's & obviously the R909 in their own instance. You can of course still run them off of the same hub and code - cgminer is perfectly happy running multiple instances of itself, AIR it is due to the vastly different data rates involved with the chips and how the CPU(s) & cgminer has to process the data for them. |

There are 3x high current regulators, 1 for each pair pf ports. Each regulator is spec'd at 6A max to be divided between each of the 2 ports. The fix is to replace the blown regulators and drop your settings to pull less current than what they can supply.
The new ones use PTC-fuses to limit max current to each port to 3.5A(?) and yes once tripped they reset in a few min once they cool down.
